Saratov Employee of BTK Group Ranks Among Top 10 Sewing Professionals in Russia
She earned her spot in the finals by winning the regional stage in Saratov, which featured 12 specialists, including two men. The federal final was held at a stadium in Nizhny Novgorod, bringing together 26 participants from various regions across Russia.
Natalia competed in both theoretical and practical assessments. The practical segment consisted of five tasks, requiring participants to process sleeve cuts, construct cuffs of various designs, and attach them to the sleeves. Contestants were given four hours to complete all operations. They worked with pre-cut garment pieces, following technical specifications and reference samples. The jury evaluated the accuracy of measurements, the quality of machine stitching, adherence to sewing technology, task completion speed, and workplace organization.
"Although Natalia did not take first place, she successfully ranked among the top ten sewing professionals in Russia. Her achievement is the result of nine years of dedicated hard work, commitment to her craft, and the support of her loved ones. It is especially significant that Natalia is employed at a flagship light industry enterprise in the Saratov Region. People like her are the pride of our region and serve as an inspiration for young people who are just beginning to choose their career paths. The regional government will continue to support the development of the light industry and the training of skilled personnel for the sector," stated Mikhail Torgashin, Deputy Chairman of the Regional Government and Minister of Industry and Energy.
The competition was organized by the Russian Ministry of Labor and Social Protection as part of the "Person of Labor" federal project, under the national project "Personnel" initiated by President Vladimir Putin.
